High FIVE Prayer Time
This is a very simple but effective way to pray for your friends. All you do is–pick 5 friends, one older, one younger and 3 you would class as good pals. Write their names down. Pray for your 5 people for 5 minutes, (1minute each) for 5 days for 5 weeks.
How to pray
- Say ‘thank you’ to God for all he is and also for your FIVE.
(Psalm 100:4) - Say ‘sorry’ to God and ask for forgiveness so you come to Him with a clean heart.
(1 John 1:9) - Forgive anyone you hold anything against, or, who has hurt you.
(Mark 11:25) - Ask God to ‘help’ you to pray for your FIVE and listen to his voice.
(John 10:27) - Ask God to bless your FIVE and pray for health, family, friends, school, joy, peace, spiritual life and any other specific things you know about.
At the end of the 5 weeks think back and see how God has answered your prayers. This can be very encouraging both for yourself and for those with whom you share your story. And, having started, you’ll find you want to keep on praying.
“So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to Accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do.”
2 Thessalonians Chapter 1, verse 11 (New Living Translation)
